Knitting For Dishes

Knitting and crochet have been part of my life for a long time and making items that can be used in the home is paramount. One of my favorite patterns is a simply knit dish cloth. It wasn’t until my mother in law (MIL) moved in that I realized that some stitches, while making a nice looking dish cloth, create a cloth too thick to be easily rung by aging hands. So those, more densely stitched cloths, will be used for something other than washing dishes and I began to knit the cloths that my MIL has used in the past and are easier to wring out.

This cloth is knit on the diagonal and the pattern is simple enough that one can knit while ‘watching’ t.v., chatting with family, riding in the car (unless you get carsick). The original can be found here.

Row 3: knit 1, knit 2 together, yarn over, knit 2 together, knit to end of row. Repeat until you have 4 stitches on your needle. At this point, I bind off. The original pattern suggests, you could crochet around and end with a loop at the end.

Hello! I grew up a Southern Baptist with a healthy helping of hell and brimstone. It was difficult to meld the gifts I'd been given with the 'work of the devil' speech's given on a weekly basis and my parents chaulked the spirit visits to an active imagination. It wasnt until I transitioned into my 30s and moved to the foothills of the Appalachian did my intuition, spirit visits, and ability to hear my guides began to reemerge.

Now, with the assistance of Spirit, my ancestors, and guides, I help others find solace in the challenges of the everyday. Spiritual consulting through the use of the Lenormand and Kipper cards, dowsing, setting lights and saying prayers are what I offer. Allow me to help you get a better sense of the future and see "what dreams may come".
